How can I create the kibana index via environment variables

[asallemi]

Hi guys,

I am using Kibana and Elasticsearch with Docker. I need to run the Docker container of Kibana with index which begin for example with extract_logs*. Is that possible ? if yes, how can I do that ?

Hey, it is possible.

Kibana doesn't support env variables but the docker image will translate them into kibana configuration

The kibana.yml parameter is kibana.index, and the env variable name docker uses is KIBANA_INDEX.

Thank you for your reply @jbudz !

@jbudz

and the env variable name docker uses is KIBANA_INDEX

What I have to put ? path or just index name ?

index name,

KIBANA_INDEX=my-kibana-index
